Vibrant production and export activities of FDI sector

FDI enterprises export 113 billion USD

The latest preliminary statistics of the Customs Department ( Ministry of Finance ) show that the total value of Vietnam's import and export of goods in the first period of May 2025 (from May 1, 2025 to May 15, 2025) reached 36.09 billion USD, bringing the total import and export turnover of the whole country up to May 15, 2025 to 313.26 billion USD, an increase of 41.53 billion USD over the same period in 2024. Of which, the total import and export turnover of FDI enterprises reached 211.6 billion USD, an increase of 15.5% (equivalent to an increase of 28.4 billion USD).

Regarding exports, as of May 15, 2025, FDI enterprises reached 112.36 billion USD, an increase of 13.1%, equivalent to an increase of nearly 13 billion USD over the same period last year, accounting for 71.3% of the country's total export turnover.

Investment activities to increase the production capacity of the FDI sector are still being strongly supplemented. This significantly increases the production and export capacity of the whole country.

For example, Avery Dennison (USA) Group on materials science and digital identity solutions has just inaugurated a joint venture factory with Shenzhou Group (Hong Kong, China) in Cu Chi District (HCMC). This is Avery Dennison's third factory in Vietnam, after factories in Long An and Bac Ninh.

The factory is built on an area of nearly 4,000 m2, with a total investment of 4.7 million USD, a processing capacity of up to 800,000 labels/day and is designed to be ready for future expansion.

In Vietnam, Avery Dennison is a partner of many sports fashion giants such as Adidas, Nike, Puma, Uniqlo... Mr. Michael Barton, Vice President of Avery Dennison Group, said that in recent years, Vietnam has increasingly enhanced its role in the global apparel and footwear industry.

“The new factory plays an important part in our investment strategy. That is to build local production capacity, with a highly skilled team right here in Vietnam,” the leader emphasized.

Not stopping there, Avery Dennison also aims to turn its factories in Vietnam into key production centers, while developing them into research and development (R&D) hubs in the Group's global network. The Group's leaders have high hopes for the R&D potential in Vietnam thanks to the quality of its human resources and increasingly complete production ecosystem.

As of the first half of May 2025, footwear exports brought in $8.6 billion, up $1 billion over the same period. Textiles and garments contributed $13.12 billion, higher than the $11.7 billion in the same period last year.

Along with that, the electronics industry contributed over 53 billion USD in revenue, with computers, electronic products and components alone increasing by 9.2 billion USD over the same period. Nearly 100% of electronics export turnover was carried out by the FDI sector.

New factory coming soon

In the near future, the footwear industry will welcome a new FDI project to come into operation in Bac Kan. That is the project to produce and process footwear and shoe soles for export of Chung Jye Bac Kan - Vietnam Shoe Manufacturing Co., Ltd., starting construction in June 2024, with a total investment of 25 million USD, capacity of 10 million pairs of footwear/year. The factory is expected to attract more secondary investors when completed and put into operation, creating 5,000 new jobs.

It is expected that this enterprise will invest in factories to produce and process export footwear in Ngan Son and Na Ri districts, with a capacity of about 1.5 million pairs of footwear per year, and a total investment of 7.5 million USD at each location.

In addition to the factory under construction in Bac Kan, Chung Jye Group currently has 3 factories in Vietnam, including factories producing shoes and shoe soles for export in Hai Duong, Ninh Binh, and Tuyen Quang. The Group's annual export output reaches 18 million pairs.

Meanwhile, Huali Vietnam Group Co., Ltd. (100% Chinese capital), specializing in manufacturing and exporting flooring, has planned to invest in expanding production in Vietnam. The factory is located in Viglacera Song Cong II Industrial Park - Phase II. As soon as the site is handed over, Huali will invest in a 100 million USD factory on an area of 130,000 m2, specializing in manufacturing flooring for export.

Exports are targeting a 12% growth rate this year and to achieve this growth target, the FDI sector continues to play an important role. At this time, localities where investors are located are accelerating support to accelerate the investment process of new manufacturing plants and put them into operation soon.
